Welcome Donna 
I know it must be scary. I hope your results will be better than you fear.
The best thing any of us can do for ourselves and our livers is to stop drinking for good.
You’ll find a lot of support here to help

Hi Donna. Put all that madness behind you. Your liver and the other parts of your mind and body damaged by alcohol have great capacity to heal. But only if you stop drinking and call that chapter in your life done.
I'm glad you are getting scene by a doc because a real doc is SO much better than Dr. Google.
Good luck and welcome to SR.

There are ways to help your fatty liver. Number one is quit booze.
Exercise, healthy low fat diet and lose weight if you need to.
Milk thistle, vitamin E and brewed black coffee is what my liver doc told me. Also fresh lemon juice in water.
This will take time. They told me it would be awhile to see improvement.

Thanks to all of the replies. It's going to take a lot of strength to stop the excessive drinking I've done for many years. I know I can do it.
This 'wake up call' is a gift.
You can do this.
You can transcend the struggles and the detriment that is alcohol and you will find that sobriety will open up to you a world you never thought possible.
I'm glad you're here.

Please read other threads in this section and you will see strategies for remaining sober.
We also have a small group class each month, where you will get more support and have some fun too. I highly suggest it and it worked for me:
